Just a short post today because the fasting month sees me snooze-ready by ten.
I have discovered that I can no longer write anything other than e-mails and blogposts on this desktop computer of mine. The mind jams and I end up surfing the internet instead.
I can only do the freewriting and the diary jottings on the laptop which I sometimes carry to bed for a couple of minutes of writing
before the eyelids droop.
I used to be able to write on this desktop, when the laptop was still Dell’s and not mine.
It is a most peculiar development and a tad inconvenient for the eyes because this desktop has a 21-inch LCD screen whereas the laptop’s is 12″.
But I suppose size doesn’t matter to the writing muse. Or perhaps she is less frightened by the smaller emptiness of the portable.

advice – don’t look at the screen at all, it will slow you down esp. as the tendency is to go back and correct grammar etc. just type!
That’s something new – looking at the keyboard instead of the screen. Worth a try and thanks for the tip.
